Melo out man

·

I could tell you that it's too early to start panicking, but that would be no fun. I could tell you that all young players in the NBA go through "adjustment" periods because of the tremendous stress put on them, but that's what the league's marketing department wants you to believe.

Diminutive Bennett performs on, off field

·

He is one of the smallest players in Division I football at 5-foot-5 and 167 pounds, but Lance Bennett plays big. Against Oregon this year, the sophomore's 98-yard kickoff return for a TD shifted the game's momentum and helped IU upset the ranked Ducks. It was the second-longest return in school history. Against Michigan State, his 94-yard punt return for six-points broke a 14-year-old Hoosier record. Bennett, who also is a top songwriter, ranks first in the Big Ten and fourth in the nation in yards per kick return at 31.41.

Bar food drive to highlight county hunger problems

·

Along with bringing their two forms of identification, bar crawlers can bring two cans of food to Kilroy's Sports Bar tonight. In collaboration with three students in the IU School of Social Work, Kilroy's Sports Bar will play host to an event benefiting the Hoosier Hills Food Bank. People who bring two canned food goods will not only save a dollar on their cover charge, but they'll also help feed the hungry of Monroe County.

Big Ten soccer tournament begins today

·

While the No. 4 IU men's soccer team does not begin its Big Ten Tournament title defense until 11:30 a.m. Friday, in Ann Arbor, Mich., the rest of the tournament gets underway this morning. Because the Hoosiers (14-3-1, 5-1 Big Ten) tied Ohio State (10-5-2, 5-1 Big Ten) for the best record in the conference this season, the Big Ten looks to head-to-head meetings. IU defeated the Buckeyes 2-0 in Columbus in October, securing the No. 1 seed and the first round bye for the Hoosiers in the Big Ten Tournament.

Party like an animal

Picture if you will, a musical utopia. Live bands play in an intimate setting. Everyone rocks out and moshes in harmony.

Jude Law gets it on in remake of Caine movie

·

Feelings -- abandoned feelings, hidden feelings, expressing feelings of all shades -- are at the heart of "Alfie," a movie which has absolutely no idea how to handle the feelings of its characters and least of all how to handle the feelings of its audience.

I heart trendy T-shirts

·

Through the glass windows near the intersection of Kirkwood and Indiana, you can see more than just offbeat clothes and high-fashion denim -- you can see a store catering to all the needs of the newly independent college student.

Commercializing your life story

·

There are a few films that actors and directors turn to when they want to win an Oscar. There's the big-budget epic, the adaptation of a best-selling book and, of course, the old stand by -- the biopic.

Where ya been hiding all these years?

·

Oh, how we love comeback albums. It's an amazing thing when successful musicians release one or two great albums, then go into hiding, never to be heard from until their miraculous comeback release.

Sacha Baron Cohen aka Ali G is among the best of a new wave of British comedians, which also includes Ricky Gervais of "The Office" and "Shaun of the Dead" and "Spaced" creators Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg.

"Dazed and Confused," Richard Linklater's ("Before Sunrise," "School of Rock") 1970s-based high school drama/comedy, is the kind of film that will forever be a classic.
